Started and finished this in less than an hour, I couldn't put it down! I didn't dare to read this alone in my room; the stories can get really creepy and one story actually made me scream when I flipped a page and it was a full picture of a ghoul.

I had a lot of fun and I kept turning the pages for more and more. I guess I never realised how much I actually love horror stories/folklores/urban legends. Will definitely try to keep an eye out for the two other books in this series.

And after all the creepy short stories and songs, it was nice that they made the last chapter to have a humorous version of classic horror tales. At least I could sleep better tonight... or will I?
